You're kidding, right?

It seems Toronto sees their window of opportunity as now. So yea, acquiring a Cy Young award winner for a prospect seems like it would help them. It depends on what they think of Dickey long-term and whether they are comfortable with Arencibia as a long-term option.

That's fair. If the Mets do trade Dickey, it will be to a team who thinks that Dickey has "figured out" the knuckleball, and can sustain it for multiple years. A team that views Dickey as a near-ace. Otherwise I don't see how they trade him.

I was discussing this with the Met fan that told me "substantial" deferral for Bay. He said the Mets think they can get 3-4 top prospects for Dickey. If that's true, they aren't trading him. As a knuckleballer, he can probably pitch another 5 years. Of course, he doesn't throw the "normal" knuckler either.
